Makes technical changes in a Section concerning the short title of the Act. | HB 2660, as amended by House Amendment 1, provides that a portion of the proceeds of a $10 billion bond issuance will be added to the assets of the State retirement systems, in proportion to their current assets. In effect, this action would substantially increase the FY 2004 State contributions to the State-funded retirement systems. These additional FY 2004 contributions could substantially decrease required annual employer contributions to the systems in FY 2005 and beyond. The estimated changes in the annual employer contributions have not yet been calculated. |

When a municipal fire department is discontinued and the affected territory is annexed by a fire protection district, provides for transfer of the assets and liabilities of the municipality's firefighters' pension fund to the pension fund of the fire protection district. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. | The fiscal impact of HB 407 cannot be determined, but is estimated to be minor, as the number of funds that would be affected by the draft is probably very small. There may be a fiscal impact to the pension funds of the fire protection districts, as the liabilities transferred to that fund would probably be greater than the transferred assets. |
7 | 93rd | senate | 93-0205 | SB1075 | RURAL BOND BANK-ISSUANCE | 14-103.04; 14-103.04; 14-104.11 | 76 statutes | 148 | Don Harmon; Gary Hannig; Jeffrey M.

Authorizes certain persons to purchase up to 2 years of service credit for certain military service not following employment. Requires payment of an amount representing both employee contributions and the employer's normal cost, plus interest. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. | The fiscal impact of HB 2434 cannot be determined, as the number of members who will purchase the military service credit is unknown. As the bill requires the employee to make the employee and employer (normal cost) contributions, plus interest (3% annually), the fiscal impact is estimated to be relatively minor. Any fiscal impact would be the result of the interest rate being set at only 3% annually. |

Disqualifies persons who first become participants after the effective date from the provision allowing members with more than 20 years of service to earn 3% annual increases before withdrawal from service.
